They dont want to be hammered on killing "the border restriction for foreign aid" bill, so they are approving the foreign aid part to have something to point at in order to deflect.

In ridiculous happenstance, they give Democrats what they wanted to begin with in order to deny Biden an election year win on the border. In order to get Republican votes by drumming up border fear, they voted down a Republican bill that would have "fixed" the border.

The party was captured after they joined or realized what they were getting into. The question is why stay, and the answer is they're addicts to the drug of power.

Surprised to not see Cotton and Graham. Theyre two of the more vocal supporters of Ukraine.

Graham will vocally support anything that gets him on TV and promptly not vote for it. I want to punch that dumb overweight ventriloquist dummy in the throat every time I hear his voice.

The fact that Mitch is on the list means this is a whole lot of hot air and not much else.
